摘要: An axial loading apparatus for applying a continuous compressive force on top of patient's head which is aligned with the head. The serves to strengthen spine. patient can direct how much applied and long as strength resistance increase, weights be increased length time increased. comprises frame member has base portion, vertical portion affixed, inclined connected portion. further an actuator mechanism actuating load onto head, locking preventing undesirable loading, holding
